Method for the semi-automatic adjustment of a hearing device, and a corresponding hearing device

Abstract

The object is to take better account of subjective perceptions when setting a hearing device or a communication system, especially a hearing aid. Therefore, an automatic setting of the hearing device by automatically analyzing the hearing situation in which the hearing device is located, and automatic setting of a parameter of the signal processing device of the hearing device relative to the hearing situation in a first parameter range is provided. In addition, manual setting of the parameter of the signal processing device to a value in a second parameter range outside the first parameter range takes place, with the automatic setting in the first parameter range being ended by this. With this semi-automatic control, the user can find an individual compromise between effectiveness and artifacts of a signal processing.

1. A method for setting a hearing device, comprising:
 automatically analyzing a hearing situation in which the hearing device is located; 
 automatically setting a parameter of a signal processing device of the hearing device relative to the hearing situation to a first value in a first parameter range; 
 ending the automatic setting in the first parameter range; 
 setting the parameter of the signal processing device of the hearing device to a second value in a second parameter range outside the first parameter range; and 
 specifying an acceptance or perceptibility threshold of an artifact resulting from the signal processing of the hearing device so that the artifact lies below the threshold in the first parameter range and lies above the threshold in the second parameter range. 
 
     
     
       2. The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the parameter of the signal processing device is manually set to the second value in the second parameter range. 
     
     
       3. The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second value in the second parameter range is manually changed. 
     
     
       4. The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second value in the second parameter range is automatically changed relative to the hearing situation. 
     
     
       5. The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second value in the second parameter range is permanently stored in the hearing device. 
     
     
       6. The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the parameter of the signal processing device is automatically selected relative to the hearing situation. 
     
     
       7. A hearing device, comprising;
 a signal processing device that processes a signal of the hearing device; 
 an analysis device that automatically analyze a hearing situation in which the hearing device is located; and 
 an adjusting device that:
 automatically sets a parameter of the signal processing device relative to the hearing situation to a first value in a first parameter range in which an artifact resulting from the signal processing lies below a specified acceptance or perceptibility threshold, and 
 sets the parameter of the signal processing device to a second value in a second parameter range outside the first parameter range in which the artifact lies above the specified acceptance or perceptibility threshold. 
 
 
     
     
       8. The hearing device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the parameter of the signal processing device is manually set to the second value in the second parameter range. 
     
     
       9. The hearing device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the second value in the second parameter range is manually changed. 
     
     
       10. The hearing device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the second value in the second parameter device is automatically changed relative to the hearing situation. 
     
     
       11. The hearing device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the second value in the second parameter range is permanently stored in the hearing device. 
     
     
       12. The hearing device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the parameter of the signal processing device is automatically selected relative to the hearing situation.
